Howard Hughes

“My father told me, never have partners.”

“Every man has his price, or a guy like me couldn't exist.”

“Money can't buy happiness.”

“Wash four distinct and separate times, using lots of lather each time from individual bars of soap.”

“Play off everyone against each other so that you have more avenues of action open to you.”

“I'm not a paranoid deranged millionaire.”

“Once you consent to some concession, you can never cancel it and put things back the way they are.”

“We don't have a monopoly. Anyone who wants to dig a well without a Hughes bit can always use a pick and shovel.”

“The Hercules' was a monumental undertaking. It is the largest aircraft ever built... I put the sweat of my life into this thing.”
